ABSTRACT:
A suture needle guide and a method of use therefor. A suture needle guide comprises a needle guide member connected to a manually-graspable handle. The needle guide member is inserted, via an arteriotomy, into the lumen of a host blood vessel. The needle guide member includes a portion which is shaped to guide a suture needle so that anastomosis can be more accurately and easily performed, compared to free-handed suturing.
